Is this kind of freaky, or is it just me?

I blame this on gay marriage.....the unnatural world is infecting us with exactly this kind of ungodly happenstance.....where will it end? when will it end? this slippery slope, this quick descent into the bowels of perversion?

Extrapolating from that explanation. could it be that humans evolved as an upright species because of brain damage???? Laughing :wink:

I wonder if the stomach ailment left her uncomfortable, and standing upright relieves the discomfort.

If it's brain damage, then it's a bit surprising that all her other bahaviors have returned to normal.

Oh this makes perfect sense: The monkey walks like a human.. other than that its normal. Because walking on two legs is just a little mishap and as long as the rest is normal the monkeys fine.
